Shotgun shoulder stock shell carrier

Abstract

A rear stock for a shotgun that includes at least one tube adapted for the storage of shotgun shells. The rear stock may include a tube positioned on each side of the stock for the storage of a plurality of shotgun shells. A switch slideably mounted to the front of the stock may be moved toward one of the tubes to partially eject a portion of a shotgun shell positioned with the tube. A protrusion connected to the switch extends into a portion of the tube and movement of the switch towards a side of the stock engages the protrusion against a shell stored in the tube. The continued movement of the protrusion forces a portion of the shell against a tapered surface on an internal shoulder cause a portion of the shell to be ejected from the tube within the stock.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field of the Disclosure[0002]The embodiments described herein relate to a shoulder stock for a shotgun that includes at least one internal shell carrier tube.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Under many circumstances it may be desirable to rapidly load and fire rounds of ammunition from a shotgun. The ability to rapidly reload a shotgun for subsequent firing may increase the effectiveness of the firearm. For example, in law enforcement and / or military activities, it may be highly desirable to be able to rapidly load a shotgun. In some sporting events, was a hunting and shooting sporting clays, the ability to rapidly reload and fire a shotgun may be beneficial in increasing the shooters performance. The convenient storage of additional shotgun shells may aid in the rapid reloading of a shotgun. However, the area of a shotgun available for the storage of additional shells may be limited. For example, the available storage areas may be off the side of the ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present disclosure is directed to a rear stock for a shotgun that overcomes some of the problems and disadvantages associated with existing designs. The rear stock has a main body with a forward end, a rearward end, and two sidewalls. It includes a first shot shell tube with an opening in the forward end, a first internal shoulder, and a first biasing mechanism to push the shotgun shell against the internal shoulder. The rear stock also includes an ejection member connected to the forward end of the main body that can partially eject a shotgun shell from the first opening by moving a switch. The technical effects of this design include improved storage and retrieval of shotgun shells, improved ejection of shotgun shells, and improved performance and reliability of the shotgun.

Problems solved by technology

However, the area of a shotgun available for the storage of additional shells may be limited.

However, the attachment of such an external storing device may be cumbersome and present the potential of becoming snagged on various obstacles.
